05-22539. Prevailing Rate Systems; Redefinition of the Adams-Denver, CO, Nonappropriated Fund Wage Area

AGENCY:

Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

The Office of Personnel Management is issuing a final rule to remove Adams County, CO, from the Adams-Denver, CO, Federal Wage System nonappropriated fund (NAF) wage area, redefine Arapahoe County, CO, from the area of application to the survey area, and change the Adams-Denver wage area's name to Arapahoe-Denver. These changes are necessary because the closure of Fitzsimons Army Medical Center in Adams County left the Adams-Denver survey area without a host activity to conduct local NAF wage surveys.

DATES:

This rule is effective on December 14, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On August 22, 2005, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued a proposed rule (70 FR 48899) to remove Adams County, CO, from the Adams-Denver, CO, Federal Wage System nonappropriated fund wage area, redefine Arapahoe County, CO, from the area of application to the survey area, and change the Adams-Denver wage area's name to Arapahoe-Denver. The proposed rule had a 30-day comment period, during which OPM received no comments.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

I certify that these regulations will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because they will affect only Federal agencies and employees.
